Pet a llama, feed a family

AUSTINTOWN

Stop by and pet a llama Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. outside of Kmart, 4475 Mahoning Ave., as members of the Llucky Llama 4-H Club collect money for Second Harvest Food Bank’s Harvest for Hunger campaign.

Since 2003, the Llucky Llama 4-H Club has raised nearly $3,700, which enabled Second Harvest to provide more than $55,000 worth of food to help feed hungry families in Columbiana, Mahoning and Trumbull counties.

The club has existed for 11 years and averages 15-20 members per year, ranging in age from 8 to 18.

Harvest for Hunger is a monthlong food and funds drive that takes place each March to help replenish food-bank shelves during the spring and summer months when donations taper off, food-bank officials said.
